I’m in love with this sentence: “Discipline feels boring until you witness what it creates.”

To that upcoming artist 🚨 Ignore the low streams, ignore the people that only show love when you start trending, ignore the “music no be your thing” comments. Keep recording, keep posting, keep improving. One day the same people will say they’ve been there from the start. Don’t give up.

First, you're unrealistic, then you're the blueprint.

the worst advice in music right now is "just drop content." nah. drop something that matters. one song that moves someone is worth more than 100 posts nobody remembers.

THE GOAL ISN'T TO GET DISCOVERED. THE GOAL IS TO BUILD SOMETHING SO UNDENIABLE THEY CAN'T IGNORE IT ANYMORE.

@bluewmist High-vibrational living isn't about constant action; it's about ruthlessly filtering out the noise and the energy-drainers so you can actually enjoy your own home. Happiness is an internal job that starts with a calm environment.

the older i get the more i realise happiness is quiet mornings, a clean space, early nights, a safe home and people who don’t drain my energy.

Artists are being asked to not only create the art but to market it, promote it, package it, pitch it, fund it, and perform it. To show up online. To be vulnerable. To be consistent. To be visible.

Timothée Chalamet discusses the promotion for ‘MARTY SUPREME’ and his vision for the industry. “My focus is on releasing the film Marty Supreme, like all my films, in the biggest way possible. France has a great film culture—not every country in the world does—so I’m trying to keep cinema alive. And keeping cinema alive isn’t about trying to win awards; it’s about being part of everyday life, doing pop-up films, doing 'Crank That (Soulja Boy)' in Brazil, and giving it my all. I want to live and breathe cinema. I want everyone in the film industry to succeed—all my contemporaries, from Zendaya to Pierre Niney. I just want everything to work out."

All these white people mad about Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance… I hope next year they get Bad Bunny performing the whole set in Spanish.

Compliments about your appearance are nice, but when somebody compliments you as a person, the way you think, the way you talk, your personality, how genuine your heart is, that hits different.

One thing I love about traveling, is that it breaks the illusion that your current life is the only possible one.

the older i get, the more i realize it really is THAT deep. who you date, who you call a friend, what you watch, what you eat, where you work, what you speak over yourself. baby, all of it matters. energy is real. what you allow in your space, in your mind, and in your body

I'm actively trying to unlearn every toxic trait in me fr. I don’t wanna argue, be disrespectful, act cold or question love. I want to be emotionally intelligent, gentle and intentional w my person.
